Fulton Sheen, "Finding True Happiness" English | ISBN: 1937509370 | 2013 | 80 pages | MOBI | 756 KB Are you perfectly happy, or are you still looking for perfect happiness?  Theodore W. Cohen, "Finding Afro-Mexico: Race and Nation after the Revolution " English | ISBN: 1108493017 | 2020 | 348 pages | PDF | 8 MB In 2015, the Mexican state counted how many of its citizens identified as Afro-Mexican for the first time since independence. Finding Afro-Mexico reveals the transnational interdisciplinary histories that led to this celebrated reformulation of Mexican national identity. It traces the Mexican, African American, and Cuban writers, poets, anthropologists, artists, composers, historians, and archaeologists who integrated Mexican history, culture, and society into the African Diaspora after the Revolution of 1910. Theodore W. Cohen persuasively shows how these intellectuals rejected the nineteenth-century racial paradigms that heralded black disappearance when they made blackness visible first in Mexican culture and then in post-revolutionary society. Drawing from more than twenty different archives across the Americas, this cultural and intellectual history of black visibility, invisibility, and community-formation questions the racial, cultural, and political dimensions of Mexican history and Afro-diasporic thought.  Peter Silverton, "Filthy English: The How, Why, When and What of Everyday Swearing" English | ISBN: 184627169X | 2011 | 314 pages | MOBI | 637 KB A frank, funny, and provocative journey through the international culture of swearing, from the shocked seventies to the naughty noughties For decades the most offensive word in the English language began with an F, then some ****s decided that it began with a C?although these days to really offend people you need to use the N word. This popular history traces how, when, and why this transition and others like it have occurred, and their significance. It also explores when and why English speakers moved from blasphemy to sexual swear words, and such other questions as Are racial insults the last remaining no-go area? Why do mother insults cut so deep in the Mediterranean? And who gives a **** anyway? Considering the cultural nuances of profane language, this book offers a witty look at swearing and the impact of its new acceptability on language, manners, and society.  Jonathan Fennell, "Fighting the People's War: The British and Commonwealth Armies and the Second World War" English | ISBN: 1107609879 | 2020 | 968 pages | PDF | 40 MB Fighting the People's War is an unprecedented, panoramic history of the 'citizen armies' of the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa, the core of the British and Commonwealth armies in the Second World War. Drawing on new sources to reveal the true wartime experience of the ordinary rank and file, Jonathan Fennell fundamentally challenges our understanding of the War and of the relationship between conflict and socio-political change. He uncovers how fractures on the home front had profound implications for the performance of the British and Commonwealth armies and he traces how soldiers' political beliefs, many of which emerged as a consequence of their combat experience, proved instrumental to the socio-political changes of the postwar era. Fighting the People's War transforms our understanding of how the great battles were won and lost as well as how the postwar societies were forged.

Insect sex zombie apocalypse! In Hollywood films the guy gets the girl and the monster is defeated, which is boring and unsatisfying, since who wants Tom Cruise to win, anyway?

This 49K collection of essays covers horror films, slashers, rape/revenge, women-in-prison and other mean, twisted, exploitation atrocities which chew up your humanity and your gender and spit it out as a staggering chitinous abomination. Freud, feminism, the male gaze, and a hideous ichor from beyond the stars engage in a struggle to the death as the world dissolves in filth and abasement. Among the films discussed are The Thing, Cronenberg's Shivers, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Under the Skin, I Spit on Your Grave, The Stendahl Syndrome, The Last House on the Left, Martyrs, Hostel, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Caged, The Big Doll House, Death Proof, and Switchblade Sisters. |
